Lebron can't carry scoring load to win a Finals - can't be offensive anchor in Finals

[Hey Yo]

^^^ needed equal-scoring partner, so he never carried the load by averaging far more than everyone like MJ

Rodman didn't carry the load either but still took FMVP voteS from MJ while avg. 7ppg

While pippen led the 94 bulls to the playoffs without their first option.

A perfectly-run triangle and a chip on their shoulder (3-peat swagger and know-how) won 55 but got destroyed in the playoffs.. (3-peat to 2nd Round losers)

After the 3-peat luster was gone in 95', they were borderline lottery until MJ returned. That was their true state without the 3-peat luster and unique situation they had in 94'

It's like saying that ad should be handed the finals mvp for contributing so well in the 2020 disney bubble.

Mj and your true hero kobe never won anything without the triangle.

The point was that lebron's margin above his sidekick in the Finals has never been carry-job level, whether it was 2-6 points or the 2-5 that I thought it was.

The 2-6 or 2-5 amounts don't change the point being made

Yes it does. The point here is that the only reason you made the amount 10 in the first place is because your original logic required only five, which you foolishly thought LeBron never did. The fact that you did this kills the entire point of this thread. It doesn't feel genuine at all and it's the literal definition of moving goal posts. It invalidates everything you are trying to do because it comes off as desperation on your part to try to save face. It's pathetic.

Everyone in history needed equal-scoring partners to attract equal defensive attention for numerous playoff runs and Finals, so they didn't always face maximum defensive attention - any period without facing maximum defensive attention is inflated stats compared to Jordan, who always faced maximum defensive attention by carrying the scoring load in every SERIES, let alone playoff run.

Everyone in history had equal-scoring partners to attract equal defensive attention for various playoff runs and Finals, so they didn't face maximum defensive attention - any period without facing maximum defensive attention is inflated stats compared to MJ, who always overcame maximum defensive attention/burden by carrying the scoring load in every SERIES, let alone playoff run.

MJ had a 15.4 average margin over 2nd option in every series - see the previous post above.. Kenny Smith talks about MJ being the only guy that always faced max defensive attention here.

I have a beautiful wife

Dumbass

She's with me right now

I enjoy doing this because the . mainstream is wrong - literally every topic they talk about - they're wrong about.. they're just journalists....not EXPERTS.. I'm an EXPERT and you should appreciate me

Looney bin

Post pics or she's fake just like your college career

It’s amazing how Lebron won with 3 different teams and different team mates. Shows he’s by far the best player who ever lived. Other guys like Jordan couldn’t do it and got trashed as soon as they didnt play in their system.
